Is TV9 turning out to be a Sikhandi (a useless and malicious character from Mahabharat) for Tollywood as the cine industry is protesting for restoration of the normalcy of film ticket prices at the moment?
TV9 is alleged to have been biased towards a human being named Jagan Reddy from AP. As part of Jagan Reddy's bhajana, TV9 appeared to have crossed all the limits thus shed its values and stayed naked in front of the viewers.
As we know, the cine industry is facing a slump due to the useless decisions of Jagan Reddy. Ticket rates in film theatres were drastically decreased which led to the closure of theatres. Thousands of lower grade employees at film theatres have lost their jobs.
At this juncture, news channels must extend their solidarity and support to the cine workers who lost their jobs. Contrary to this responsibility, TV9 is broadcasting some useless programmes in support of the foolish decisions of slashing ticket rates.
On Thursday, 30 December, TV9 cried about popcorn rates in the canteens of the multiplexes. Ironically, TV9 conducted sting operations in a few multiplexes as if it disclosed a huge scam worth thousands of crores of a top politician.
As a matter of fact, the canteen owners of the multiplexes have been maintaining the same prices over a decade. And the audiences too have no apprehensions with those prices because they are thronging to the multiplexes irrespective of the high prices in the multiplexes. Anyways, TV9's silly operation appears to have been intended to cater the needs of Jagan Reddy. Tollywood should realize the ploy of the TV9 and should ban the channel with an immediate effect.
BOTTOM-LINE: TV9 always cries foul on the websites and the social media. Do you know why? Because these web media and the social media divulge naked truths about the biased and opaque stand of the channels of this kind.
